Claudio Conde - Camino - XL

Camino – Painting on canvas, 90 x 70 cm.
“Camino” is a work that communicates serenity and contemplation through a luminous and evocative landscape. The composition guides the gaze along a stone path that crosses a pond covered with water lilies, leading to a small red-roofed house surrounded by nature. The intense contrast between deep greens and vibrant blues creates an atmosphere of calm and hope, while the light on the dwelling suggests shelter, destination, and a connection with the tranquility of the surroundings.

I am a visual artist with a primary focus on painting. My work centers on exploring color as language and as a means to build landscapes that are born in the mind but seek to materialize in physical reality. Each work is an attempt to translate sensations, memories, and interior atmospheres into tangible images, creating a bridge between the intangible and the visible. Color is the axis of my research: I use it not only as an aesthetic element but as a tool to open emotional and perceptual spaces.

The work ships with a certificate of authenticity.

I am a visual artist trained at the Escuela Profesional de Artes Plásticas de Camagüey (1992) and holding a degree in Sociocultural Studies from the Universidad de Las Tunas (2008). I have developed a sustained exhibition career in Cuba and internationally. Among my most notable solo exhibitions are Where Light Sleeps (2024) at the Servando Cabrera Gallery, Three Cardinal Points (2023) at the Carmelo González Gallery, and Urban Nativity Scenes (Pesebres Urbanos) (2020) at the National Library of Cuba, among others. My work has been part of group exhibitions at the Center for the Development of Visual Arts, at the Center for Plastic Arts and Design of Havana; in the curatorial section of Zona MACO Mexico fair, among others, consolidating a coherent discourse around landscape, space, and symbolic construction. Throughout my career I have received various recognitions, including awards at the National Landscape Salon and at the Fayad Jamís Salon, which support the solidity and continuity of my artistic production.
